D Turbo tuning.

[ADV_93]

It's as simple as winding the wastegate fully in and then setting it up with max fuelling?

You can and its the easier than doing it properly but it makes it very easy to repeatedly over speed the turbo and this will wear it out quickly, you'll also get epic compressor stall when you change gear and if its violent enough this can break the blades clean off the compressor wheel and then suck them into the inlet (worst case scenario). That said it sounds EPIC

As epic as compressor surging sound is, i know it is of no benefit to the turbocharger. Seen a turbo that had done that before... Messy, i don't think getting the engine out and rebuilding it or swapping it is quite worth a "tssss" when you shut off...

a: Closing a wg is NOT 'tuning'
b: turning the actuator to achieve more than 18 causes horrible lag between 18 and max boost. fit a dawes type mbc its only 10-15 quid ffs
b: your not 'controlling' anything with fuel your limiting fuel with no wg
Its the truth I swear lol hate to harp on about this in different threads but the op seems like a guy who wants yo do it properly

Yeah, i wanted to do it the proper stage 1 way tbh, the winding wastegate in fully and controlling with the fuelling was the first i ever heard... I need an 8mm nut and a boost gauge then i can hopefully get the stage 1 finished! Also, did a 0-60 run yesterday (on a closed off, quiet national speed limit road) and using 2 separate stop watches, got it down to 9 seconds on 2 runs... And i've not even tuned the boost yet...
